Since the part number is just a parameter, I want to use a rewrite rule to place that one parameter in the subsequent query string.

(I hope the front page transclude has some sane limiting...)<br>

</div>lulzwut. There ain&#39;t no such thing as a &quot;proper noisebridge service&quot;,<br>
<a href="http://nburl.net" target="_blank">nburl.net</a> is as proper as anything else. (Nobody ever asked AFAIK, we<br>
could easily have it at <a href="http://url.noisebridge.net" target="_blank">url.noisebridge.net</a> but the shorter TLD is<br>
nice. Also, alas, <a href="http://noisebrid.ge" target="_blank">noisebrid.ge</a> is hard to register unless you&#39;re<br>
physically in Georgia.)<br>

I suppose it&#39;d be nice if we could do some backups of the <a href="http://nburl.net" target="_blank">nburl.net</a><br>
database, especially if it&#39;s going to have nontrivial elbow grease<br>
applied, but that&#39;s orthogonal...<br>
